The Dubliner said: “I have been commissioned to write another two Christmas specials and the BBC are expecting Christmas specials up until 2020.

“I am lucky enough I can grow into the part and so that is nice.

“The Christmas special was quite naughty. But it was good fun to do.”

Brendan said the rumour he was going to pull the plug on Mrs Brown’s Boys came from a mix-up.

He insisted: “There is absolutely no truth in the story I am not writing any more Mrs Brown’s Boys. I am.

“I would be very disappointed if that were the case, because that is the kind of fool I am. I work for 20 years to make something and as soon as it’s successful then I stop.

“My son Danny did an interview for a newspaper and it was a charity event at Donegal – as part of the interview to promote the event the journalist asked what is happening with Mrs Browns and he went, ‘Oh we have finished’, but what he meant is that we’d just finished filming the Christmas special.”

Brendan is now taking two months off to relax in Florida before getting stuck in again.

As well as his television shows the Dubliner has a keen interest in politics which he inherited from his mother Maureen who was a Labour Party TD .

But Brendan vowed not run for election unless there is political reform. He revealed: “My mum started as a nun and went into politics and I always felt serving in the public would be a very honourable thing.

“I always said I would run for the Dail when I didn’t need the money but I would only do it when there was absolute reform in Ireland.

“No matter what party you get in and no matter what coalition gets in, it’s the ‘same old’ and people are getting disillusioned and disheartened.

“Only if there was absolute chance of complete reform would I want to be a TD.” Brendan is also planning a number of TV programmes beyond Mrs Brown’s Boys.

He said: “I’d love to do a TV programme from arrivals at the airport and interview people waiting for loved ones coming out.

“I would like to film them and speak to them about who they are waiting for and why they are there.”

Brendan revealed the idea stems from his own background as many of his family were forced to move abroad to find work. He added: “Growing up in Dublin there was 11 of us in my family and some of my brothers and sisters emigrated.

“At one stage seven of us were away and Christmas was spent meeting people at airports which I loved and I used to cry just to see people coming through arrivals.

“You would see a mother waiting for her son or daughter and the joy on their faces. You know the end of Love Actually and they do that montage and that is what it’s like.”

But there are more pressing engagements with Mrs Brown’s Boys set to go back on tour.

Brendan said: “The UK tour has just about sold out in 2015 and Australia in 2016 and I am working on a series at the moment but I haven’t worked out if it is a series or a movie – we are hoping to do pilots this year. I want to do a spin-off called Wash and Blow [about the salon in Mrs Brown’s Boys].

“And the other one is adapting the very first play I wrote and it’s about somebody who had to train six idiots on a positive mental attitude course.

“Steve McCrum [who produced Mrs Brown’s Boys] has been on to me over and over again asking me to pilot on it and I am hoping to squeeze that in in 2015.”

The funnyman revealed he is also going to be doing a cookery show with the chef who caters for the hungry Mrs Brown’s Boys team when they are on tour with the live show.

He said: “We will see who buys it. As part of the tour we have our own catering company and the chef Andy – who is Egyptian – is going to do it and we are going to do a six-part series of him on the road.

“He has looked after Paul McCartney and Lady GaGa and he is going to do all his recipes.” Brendan’s other idea for a hit TV show was inspired by his wife Jenny’s time on Strictly Come Dancing.

He said: “The other production is a history of dance and Tristan McManus who was Jenny’s partner on Strictly is going to different areas to trace the origins of particular dance and he is going to take Danny and Paddy who play Buster and Dermot in Mrs Brown’s Boys to show them the origins of particular dances.

“So to learn about the Paso Doble they will be in Spain and then we go to Vienna for the Viennese Waltz and we go to Argentina for the Argentine Tango.

“We go to Charleston for the Charleston – that dance was invented by a slave and when they took away the musical instruments they invented the Charleston.”
